That's an issue. I had a cousin who did the same thing in another state.
He went to the guy who basicly ran the state government and asked for a
job.
"Who sent you?"
"Nobody."
"Who do you know who has connections?"
"Nobody, sir."
"I have 27 applicants who have been recommended to me by important
people. Why should I hire you instead of any of them?"
"I don't know, sir. Thank you for your time."
"You got the job. This is your first lesson. Every one of those guys
would owe the man who got him the job with me. You've got no strings on
you. You belong to me and only to me."
Is that better or worse?
The trouble with voting for politicians is that after one of them wins
you have a politician in office.
